Problem/ confusion with Lpt issue

    Back in 2013 i instructed Revenue to deduct lpt from my wages. As far as i was concerned everything was fine with that. I thought it was being deducted. I dont receive payslips so knew no different.
    Anyway today i receive a letter saying the tax hasnt been paid for '13 and '14. I must pay it within 14 days or my employer will be instructed to take it..... Which is what should have happened years ago?.
    Anyway i log on and from what i can see 2015 and 2016 hasnt been deducted either.
    At the minute im not working due to illness.
    I ring revenue and the guy on the phone says to just ignore it and when i return to work itll be taken then.

    Im really worried that when i do go back im going to have a massive bill that as far as i was aware was being paid. At this stage i owe €700+ according to revenue website- yet it also says no further action necessary.

    Im really concerned about this - would it have to be paid off in big chunks from my wages..?

    How did you instruct Revenue to deduct it initially? Would you have received a P60 each year and if so did you not notice it not showing in it as a deduction? Have you any tax credit certificates from previous years showing that it should be deducted?
    When you say you "logged on" - I take it you mean PAYE anytime, again you should be able to see here your LPT records and any liabilities and payments.
    The guy in Revenue wasn't really correct to say to do nothing. If you wish for Revenue to deduct from your payroll, tell them this and they will issue a new tax credits cert to your employer. Then when you are back at work, a portion will be deducted from your wages each week or month so that by the end of year it will be repaid. Perhaps ask Revenue to spread it over 2 or 3 years. Once Revenue instruct your employer to deduct it from your wages, your employer must deduct it from your wage.

    I would have instructed them to pay it via the Lpt log on page. Thats where i can see my total today- it says that payment is being deducted from source yet also shows nothing has been paid
    I never noticed on my p60 that it wasnt deducted

    It sounds as though it may be the employer who has messed this up - if you gave Revenue the instructions that you were to pay it by payroll deduction, it is almost 100% certain the necessary change will have issued to your employer, but unless they input that into their system AND implemented it and paid it over, then it won't be paid. Might be worth your while to check at their end...

    Yeah, i mean i did everything i was supposed to. I dont think ill be getting myself into any trouble over it-as ive said i have it on screen in front of me that no further action was needed and deduction was being taken care of. But somewhere along the line it hasnt happened.
    Anyway Just worried i face a big bill when im back
